Lower bounds for graph embeddings and combinatorial preconditioners
Given a general graph G, a fundamental problem is to find a spanning tree H that best approximates G by some measure. Often this measure is some combination of the congestion and...

Maximizing the Area of Overlap of Two Unions of Disks Under Rigid Motion
Let A and B be two sets of n resp. m disjoint unit disks in the plane, with m ≥ n. We consider the problem of finding a translation or rigid motion of A that maximizes the tota...

On the Complexity of Nash Equilibria and Other Fixed Points
We reexamine what it means to compute Nash equilibria and, more generally, what it means to compute a fixed point of a given Brouwer function, and we investigate the complexity o...
